You'll only lose sleep for a few days, and then he'll be fine in there.
The bell trick that was mentioned above is a great idea. Just start ringing the bell when you go out every time.
Remember, were training you to be consistent in your behavior. If you are consistent, he learns.

Yeah that's why I left the door open to the crate to make him feel a little better. He drags his chew toys in there so I'd say it's pretty safe to say he doesn't hate it in there lol.
